Did I say that? No. I was expecting something that attacks you from range at least. Something that doesn't involve simply holding down LT if they get a bit close and you run out of ammo.

But there are those zombies that spike you with their tongues or something and then pull you towards them

Show me an FPS game with Variety nowadays. The last FPS that really brought variety was painkiller. Everything else is really the same thing over and over again.

And the witch is no push over. Maybe your playing on hacked gameplay, because ive had the witch outlast 2 full clips of the auto shotty + and grenade going off on her.

Most games have out-of-character sequences to break up the gameplay. Some shooters have driving sections for example. This is the same non-stop close quarters combat all the way through. You use the same tactics every time you play. I have other things to spend that ?30/40 on, like a car...

How do you get all that from a demo that only gives you 3 sections out of 1 map? You dont even get the play the full map, or even get any part of the story. Dont judge a book by its cover, and dont judge the story and complexity of a game from its demo. The demo is really there to show you how it will run and sort of what it will be like, usually hiding the best for those who purchase it. everyone can have their own opinion, but i normally perfer those who form theirs off of what they have learned from fullly studing the content, not just a quick glimpse.

From what I can tell so far, this game should really only get better with the addition of 4 extra players as zombies, some more weapons, and many many more maps. Plus, we konw Valve is great for keeping a game up to date and full of patches/addons. What you pay for now will only be reaped even more later on. If anyone should steal Sonys moto of you pay for the future, it would be Valve.

Don't judge a book by it's cover? Demos are supposed to make you want to buy the game! They're supposed to include the best bits of the early part of the game to get your interest. L4D has failed, and that's the end of it.

Valve didn't do a great job of keeping the Orange Box up to date on the consoles, did it? Yeah, they're great at supporting PC games, but the OB was fail on the consoles.

I dont have the demo on my PC anymore but I have a question. In the harder modes do they get rid of the unlimited ammo for your small handgun?

I only played the game for a short time before I had to get back into school mode.

What exactly is the point of the witch?

She is SUPER easy to kill compared to the tank boss...Even on advanced / expert, she cries, I shoot at her, it says I disturbed her, she comes at me, I shoot her again with shotgun....She's dead.

1 shotgun blast?

She's got more health than that.

Edit: Oh yeah, completely forgot about this. Valve released the posters for the "movies"

Anybody see the problem in the No Mercy poster? :p

    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By excalpius · Posted

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
